Honey Whole Wheat Bread


Ingredients:
1 1/2 tablespoon yeast
2 cups warm water
1/3 cup honey

1 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup quick oats
4 cups whole wheat flour (21 ounces)

In your mixing bowl, add yeast, warm water and honey. Let sit between 5 and 8 minutes, or until bubbly and frothy. Add remaining ingredients. With dough hook, mix on low for about 30 seconds. Turn off mixer and scrape sides with spatula. Mix on medium speed for 7 to 8 more minutes. Remove dough hook and cover bowl with cloth. Let rest for 1 1/2 hours. Dough should be at least double in size. 

Turn oven on to 325 degrees. Spray bread pan with cooking spray. Rub flour on hands well, and throw dough out onto floured surface (I use white flour) and form into a log. Place dough in bread pan and bake, once oven is heated to 325 degrees. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove bread from pan immediately and let cool on wire rack. Let sit for several minutes before slicing. Bread is best when cooled, although I know you'll want to eat as soon as it's out of the oven, and, that's okay :)
